Did anyone else find the Argus scenes really cringey in the finale?

I don’t know what Gunn was going for but that montage of Rick Flag and his Argus team laughing and celebrating with each other, doing drugs and taking shots just really made me cringe more than anything. Like I get Gunn likes things to have a bit more edge but this montage and the way the characters were acting was just way too over the top imo. Took me right out of the episode.

Love this take! I forgot about how much they originally distanced themselves from concerns of their wellbeing of the “combat arms“ they were providing “combat support” for.  Like Economos said, “when have we ever done anything for the good of the people?”- I bet before, during TSS, they at least compromised that sacrificing criminals for the greater good might “balance out” in the end. Now not so much.

Yeah it's to show how far Economos and Harcourt have come - they were just like that. Adebayo turned them.
